All my life the True Republic has been at war. It has been going on for almost twenty years. Before that was only ten years of peace and before that was almost thirty years of civil war. I was born on a mining station and grew up around some of the toughest men and women around. My education was like a jack of all trades and master of none. I graduated with several certificates in ship repair at the age of twenty. During the time I had gone to school I had lost everyone in another system raid. The Kyle Empire were ruthless and had not only destroyed the mining station but they had taken the time to destroy every lifeglobe. Not only had there been no fleet in the system, there had been no …

Chapter one Making a name All my life I have fought for everything I had, food, clothing, education and finally my position as a space pilot. I shifted the power setting again as the huge barge glided above the third asteroid belt towards the next ore dump, “the second reactor just died Lorenz.” “What else is new? This bucket of scrap is lucky it can stay in space.” I glanced at her holograph in my display, “having both and the other half of the gravity generators would be nice when we reach the ore.” She continued to work, “you are asking the impossible again.” I smiled, “I can always ask.” She snorted and sat back, “okay the feed is back online.” I changed the power settings again, “only half the dead gravity generators are back.” …

My name is, James William Silver. My mother had been a platoon leader for one of the space marines elite commando units on a detached mission. My father had been a starship captain.

By the time I was six I was running errands in the Maze for high level fences. By eight I was …

Chapter 1 Getting a sponsor War had been going on for almost five years. I was eighteen and had completed both regular school and a advanced school in engineering. I was home on Cloud before I submitted an application for the fleet marines. A lot here was still being researched because of the properties. I was three quarters amer indian and my father was the head warden for the major preserves. I was sitting in his headquarters when the Mayday from a shuttle came in. I moved to the holograph board and watched the shuttle track down out of the atmosphere. I shook my head, “it is going into the Sky Islands.” I looked at dad and he nodded, “and we do not have a ranger to go after them.” I should mention my father …

Chapter one Passing the Test I am Simon Joseph St James and sat in the speeding copter and thought about my life and what had brought me here to this time and place. I was twenty years old and the last four had been spent working to reach this point. First were the martial arts and then the science, well… biology and zoology. I had been on the planetary youth marksmanship team as well. My goal was to become a ranger for our planet. The few rangers that came through were only here for a month or two before leaving. It was the ranger’s job to make sure the people of the colony were safe as well as the animals of the planet. It was also their job to preserve any ruins or artifacts on …

Chapter one Landing The insystem liner released the shuttle with a jarring thud that shook the entire ship. I glanced over my readout one more time, “How does it look Tinker?” My engineer growled, “She is an ancient bitch but we are still in the green. Just stay away from that damn brat.” I grinned as I keyed the comm, “Beta Seven control, this is Green Two. Free of Sister’s Delight.” “Copy Green Two. Your course is clear for decal and entry.” I grinned and glanced at Tinker, “My engineer requests I avoid the brat since we have had two prior encounters. We request you check her location.” There was a long pause, “Green Two, Beta Seven Major says to just stay your course.” I laughed and then a flash of yellow on my course …

Chapter 1 Recovering a fugitive My life began with my older sister. We were sold to a… school when I was still a baby. Even when I slept they used a sleep teacher to make me learn. Everything from chemistry to engineering, by the time I was fourteen I could have been anything; doctor, engineer, chemist, computer programmer… anything. The fact was we were trained to kill, we were assassins and could use any type of weapon. Even though I was young they had given me the name Morpheus as my clan name. It came crashing down when I was sixteen. My sister went out for a mission and when she returned the masters stunned her while she was in my room talking to me. I was confined to my room while she was taken …

Keys The world of Keys was a tropical paradise, ninety percent water with hundreds of thousands of islands. One of the better things to happen here was the accidental release of Tuna. Unlike on old earth they thrived and grew. They grew much larger than anywhere else in fact. A full grown Tuna could weight over three thousand pounds. Keys was not a commercial world though, it was one of recreation. Tourist would flock here to swim in the temperate ocean or sport fish for the huge Tuna. We did export most of the tuna caught and even had specialists that prepared and mounted the fish caught. Most people lived on a group of islands known as Kila. There were a few underwater cities that lived off underwater farms or special fisheries and there was …
